Temperature is relative, so in comparison to the sun, yes, but no, they are much different in temp. The moon has no atmosphere, so it doesn't keep it's heat when it gets dark and when it's sunny it gets really hot. The earth has a atmosphere so only some heat comes in and it stays in. The moon has the same average temp. but it gets extreme with its temp. like hundreds of degrees warm and dozens below. I hope this answer helps you.

What are similarities between the moon and earth?

They're made out of the same stuff ... at least on the crust (the moon was most probably once a part of the Earth's crust). They both revolve around the sun and (being a similar distance from the sun) have the similar temperature. (Although the variations in temperature is much greater on the moon ... due to lack of atmosphere and slower rotation.)


If the moons atmosphere were similar to the earths stars near moon would appear what color?

If the moon's atmosphere were similar to Earth's atmosphere, the stars near the moon would appear white to the naked eye. This is because in Earth's atmosphere, stars appear white due to the scattering of light by the gases present in the atmosphere.


How are the new moon and full moon phases similar?

Both the new moon and full moon phases occur when the Earth, moon, and sun are aligned in a straight line. During a new moon, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, while during a full moon, the Earth is positioned between the moon and the sun. Both phases mark key points in the lunar cycle and have significant impacts on tidal patterns and certain cultural practices.

What is the relationship between the moon and the earth in terms of orbit, similar to how the earth is to the sun?

The moon orbits around the Earth in a similar way that the Earth orbits around the sun. The moon's orbit is elliptical, meaning it is not a perfect circle, and it takes about 27.3 days to complete one orbit around the Earth. This orbit creates the phases of the moon that we see from Earth.

What are two differences between conditions for life on the moon and on earth?

Quite simply, Earth has the conditions for life, the Moon doesn't.The Earth has water, the Moon doesn't.The Earth has air, the Moon doesn't.The Moon has extreme temperature differences.


Why is the moon farthest away from the sun that's when its hot?

The distance between the Sun and the Moon is not related to the temperature on Earth.


How does the temperature change when the moon is close to the earth?

It doesn't - the moon's proximity to Earth has no bearing on Earth's temperature - the Sun does that.


How is a new moon and a lunar eclipse similar?

A new moon occurs when the moon is between the Earth and the sun, so it is not visible from Earth. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, causing the Earth's shadow to be cast on the moon, making it appear dark. Both events involve the alignment of the Earth, moon, and sun in a specific way that affects the visibility of the moon from Earth.

What is it when the earth is between the sun and the moon?

When the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun you get a full moon, not a new Moon which occurs when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun. You could also get a Lunar eclipse.


Why do scientists believe that earth's rocks and the Moon's rocks are similar?

Scientists believe Earth's rocks and the Moon's rocks are similar because both were formed through similar processes, such as volcanic activity and impacts from asteroids. Additionally, studies of lunar samples brought back from moon missions show similarities in composition to certain rocks found on Earth.
